I am going along with Niel on this one, and I will be honest. If this is what the lady loves, then fine, she is the one who will wear it and only her opinion matters. Some of us were just questioning whether she had seen a wide variety of unique settings to be sure there wasn't a better choice. Just understand that the majority of people are going to look at that ring and go . I see nothing whatsoever organic (like a vine, etc.) about it. There are hundreds of modern, organic, unique rings for which I can appreciate the design even though they may not be my personal style. But this one is just in another category, I am sorry. I just don't even see a precision cut diamond being right for that setting.

(rustic) http://www.greenlakejewelry.com/gallery/gallery.aspx?p=1 (stones like these would work better in that original setting, in my opinion)
(Edited to add...I just saw that the name of that design is CRUSH, so it obviously is intended to be crushed metal and not organic.)
